brenda, DH checked his email late last night and found that a corporate asshat had sent out a CYA email to everyone and their dog about issues that DH was working on and made EVERYONE but himself look bad. Even though said asshat had sat in on the committee, had a chance to comment and edit a report that went to a state department of insurance where the issues were a problem. He never said a word. Until now. I had to carefully edit DH's reply that he fired off last night at 10 p.m. lest he end up personally insulting the asshat and getting into trouble.

I don't know, I think there's a lot of just plain ignorance out there on this issue, based on decades old horror stories and half-remembered movies.

Yes. This. If the guy is this ignorant, he may well benefit from the class. If he can shut up long enough for the prof to teach it.

Surely there is something similar in SF?

Not that I've heard; I've gone to Nordie's and gotten good service but not the transcendent service people mention in the Towne Shoppe.

I think you should have them bring it up to Big Boss, and soon.

Oh, we will, for sure. He's in tomorrow, so my boss will bring it up then.

I think it's the eye-bleeding stick you have to worry about, rather than just the blue gloves.

I was still comforted by the fact that while actually working with me, Dr. & Nurse both used plain old off-white. Clearly my brain, she is not worth the effort.

In my class this week they showed a video of the old ECT method along with a video of the new method. I think people were so freaked out by the old method that they didn't even pay attention to the second video. I think there are a lot of people who freak out at the idea of ECT who aren't scientologists.

So, they're doing a fundraiser today, selling soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I didn't bother to sign up, 'cause they only offered tomato soup, which I don't care for, and chicken noodle, which I can take or leave. I just walked past the lunchroom and the sandwiches smell SOO GOOD. But now I'm afraid to walk out of my door for fear I'll mug someone for their sandwich. I think I know what I'll be having for dinner tonight.

I went ahead and read brenda's whitefont, and now I'm having to type by sheer feel as my eyes have rolled so far back in my head they are stuck.

All I've got for work stories is a fuss about the plural of "conundrum." BigBoss wrote "conundra" and I changed it to "conundrums." He came over all edjumicated on me: "Because it ends in -um, 'conundrum' is clearly from the Latin, so the correct plural is 'conundra.'"

I started to Reply, "Well, I'm learning why you NEED a plural form of 'conundrum,'" then erased that. Then typed, "Have you considered conundrae ?" then erased that too. Finally I just sent him a our subscriber info for OED online.

I used to have good people skills. Really.

I have to say that I freak a little about ECT, because my grandfather had it in the 1950's and it did make him a little strange (although did seem to cure the going off and deciding to baptize my (then young) uncle by throwing him in the ocean in the middle of winter.)

I know that ECT now is very different and I have seen it help tons of people, but I am not sure I would have felt this way when I was a regular college age student.

Before we get too far, I have to mention How. Cute. is that Owen story!

So, what is the plural of conundrum? If it was me, I would probably just use another word because Latin is not my thing.

eta: My widget dictionary says conundrums.

So I emailed all my stuff to the job I don't really want ( but have just convinced my self that good things could come of it). but there were pages where they wanted signatures. Which I can't do on a computer. But they are the ones that said I could email...

please read beep me.
